Afrobeats singer Tiwa Savage has revealed how she collaborated with British-Nigerian rapper Skepta on her new single “On The Low”.
According to Savage, she casually reached out to Skepta via direct message and was surprised by how quickly things fell into place.
She narrated how she visited Skepta in the studio, played him the record and he loved it.
“So, ladies, I want to say that it does work sometimes when you slide into that dm. But I did slide into the dm and I was like, hey, big smoke. I didn’t really tell him up front what I wanted. Kind of was just like, I’m in London.
“What you doing? He’s like, yo, I’m in the studio. I’m like, oh, cool. So I went over and played him the record, and he loved it. I particularly loved shooting the visuals for this. So if you haven’t seen it, make sure you check it out,” she narrated.
The song, released on July 30, 2025, has been receiving massive love from fans across Nigeria and the UK.
“On The Low” is part of Savage’s upcoming album “This One Is Personal,” set to drop on August 29, 2025.
Stand-up comedian AY Makun has denied rumours of regretting his marital breakdown and seeking reconciliation with estranged wife, Mabel.
In an Instagram post, he described these claims as false and manipulative, warning that he would take legal action against anyone spreading such narratives.
AY emphasised that if he wants to communicate his personal stance on any matter, he’ll do so directly, not through faceless blogs or rumor-driven platforms.
He wrote: “My attention has been drawn to a series of false, incessant, and insensitive social media posts suggesting that I am in a state of regret and seeking reconciliation in my past relationship.
“These publications are deliberately manipulative, calculated to mislead the public, and designed solely for traffic and engagement.
“For clarity, I have never authorized or made any such statements.
“If I wish to communicate my personal position on any matter, I have the platform, the reach, and the credibility to do so directly, not through faceless blogs and rumor-driven platforms.
“This serves as a final warning: all such false narratives should be disregarded by the public.
“Moving forward, the appropriate legal measures will be instituted against individuals, blogs, or platforms that continue to publish, promote, or circulate these defamatory stories. Enough of the lies.”
AY and Mabel, who have two daughters together, announced their separation in April 2024 after 16 years of marriage.
Mabel had previously hinted at long-term mental abuse, stating she left the marriage for her safety and peace of mind.
AY acknowledged the relationship was “slipping through his hands” but chose not to share details.
Both parties have since confirmed their separation and asked for privacy while focusing on their children.
Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy has spoken about a ridiculous rumour surrounding his unshaved armpits.
In an Apple Music interview, he laughed off claims that his success is tied to his armpit hair through voodoo, calling it “hilarious.”
According to Burna Boy, he simply doesn’t like shaving his armpit, dismissing the speculation around as absurd.
He jokingly compared the rumor to the biblical story of Samson, whose strength came from his hair.
The interviewer asked: “What would you say is a common misconception about Burna Boy?”
Burna Boy replied: “One is that I don’t like to shave my armpits. People think that it is like Samson in the Bible that [has] his power in his hair.
“There are some people that claim that my armpit is where my power is because I don’t shave. In Nigeria you hear crazy things. There are some people that think that is some voodoo sh*t, like my power is in my armpits [laughs]. I don’t even know how to explain it. It’s just some dumb sh*t that’s going on. I even tried to find out if it’s even possible.”
Reality TV star and Disc Jockey Wanni Danbaki has shared her remarkable transformation from struggling financially to becoming a renowned DJ.
She recalled a time when she couldn’t even boast of N50,000 in her account, often wondering if her hard work would ever yield results.
However, Wanni said she refused to give up, choosing instead to stay focused and believe in herself.
Speaking of now, Wanni said she’s not only financially stable but also living her dream in the music industry.
She emphasised that her confidence and unique approach to her craft keep her ahead, encouraging others to stay committed to their goals, assuring them that breakthroughs are on the horizon.
She wrote: “Five years ago, she couldn’t even boast of having 50,000 Naira in her account. There were days she questioned herself, days she wondered if her hustle would ever pay off. But she refused to give up. She kept showing up, kept grinding, and kept believing.
“Today, she is not just financially stable, she is living her dream as a well-known DJ. This is proof that growth takes time, consistency, and faith. If anyone is still in their ‘50k season,’ they should not stop. Their breakthrough is coming.
“One thing that keeps her on top of her game is that she does not see anyone as competition. No one is Wanni, and no one can do Wanni the way Wanni does it. Her confidence is very high, and she is proud of her achievements. She is obsessed with her work, loves herself, and will always shine bright. She gives herself so much love.”
Afrobeats singer Made Kuti has responded to a troll’s ethnic-based insult by promoting unity and criticising tribalism.
The troll, AdemolaOgudu, attacked Made Kuti for marrying outside the Yoruba tribe, calling it foolish.
“The face of another foolish Yoruba man who married a useless osu Ibo woman, It will never be well for those of you who are mixing Ibo blood with Yoruba blood,” the troll wrote.
Made Kuti countered by emphasising the importance of African unity and the need to break free from colonial-era mentalities that foster division.
He encouraged people to educate themselves on African history and the ideals of leaders like Nkrumah and Lumumba, who championed unity and collective progress.
Made Kuti concluded by urging people to “Free Your Mind” from tribalistic thinking and embrace a more enlightened and unified perspective.
He wrote: “When I saw this post, it didn’t make me angry, I just felt pity for this person. Every one of our great African leaders believed in the importance of African unity because they had faith in the potential of our people to rise intellectually above the structures and limits set by colonial regimes and miseducation.
“They hoped that we would preserve our culture and traditions and treat each other with love and respect, creating a continent that would support our children with love and joy. This way, they would grow up in a unified continent with collective management of resources, free travel without visa restrictions, shared culture, shared knowledge, and collective growth.
“Running backwards and believing ethnic superiority/inferiority is justifiable is slave mentality. It means you haven’t fully freed yourself from you nearly 500 years old chains. It means you’re still a victim.
The healthiest way to free your mind is to read. Enlighten yourself with history and knowledge left by leaders like Nkrumah, Lumumba, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, Fela Kuti and Sankara.. Free Your Mind.
“I thought to leave this here for posterity because I’ve been seeing posts like this (from both sides) for some time now”.
Big Brother Naija Season 10 is now in its fourth week, and it’s already been a rollercoaster, packed with unexpected twists, bold new strategies, and all-around entertainment.
Ships have sailed, sunk, and more are on the way. In short, it has not only been an exciting season of 10/10 drama but also of some raunchy housemates.
While the initial 29 housemates were all fighting for camera time like rent was due tomorrow, the inevitable eviction has cut down the house size to 24.
The season kicked off with 29 housemates, with KayiKunmi, Danboskid, Ibifubara and Otega now evicted and Sabrina making a voluntary exit.
The fights are multilayered. The ships are messy. The love triangles have triangles of their own.
Raunchy housemates
From Kayikunmi and Isabella’s intimate moments to Bright Morgan and Mide’s raunchy pool time, the last four weeks have not been devoid of raunchy moments. A video of Bright and Mide glued to each other in Biggie’s pool as they made intense body movements has ignited concerns online as netizens share their observations. Many who saw the short clip were convinced the two were having sex in the pool, while others maintained that it was only a steamy dance session.
KayBella sails and sinks
At first, Kayikunmi had Isabella wrapped around his finger. Then Thelma (aka Isabella’s love rival) won HoH and picked him as her houseguest for the week. The first Saturday Night party took an unexpected turn after housemates Kayikunmi and Isabella were caught on camera engaging in an intimate moment. Suddenly, Isabella decided to “push boundaries” and dumped him – literally moved to KayBobo’s bed that night. But after tears, tension, and late-night pleas, KayBella is now the first official ship of the season. This was not until Kayikunmi was evicted at the start of week four.
Imisi and Kuture’s situationship
Every season needs a “trenches lore”, and Imisi came prepared – tragic backstory, underdog energy, and enough fire to power two seasons. Her blow-up with Rooboy? Television gold.
Then there’s Kuture, the funny instigator who is friends with everyone but chaos in disguise. Remember Bright Morgan’s Hulk moment? That was Kuture’s doing. He’s simply an evil genius.
The forced triangle: Dede, Kola and Doris
Dede has made it clear; she has a man outside. But Kola is playing the long game, and 71 days is plenty of time to change her mind.
Now add Doris to the mix, who’s also into Kola and refusing to be friends with him if he’s with Dede. It’s petty, and it’s intense.
Zita: The green snake under green grass
Before the second week, Zita was the low-key Gen Z babe attached to Danboskid, who was eventually evicted after two weeks. Now, she’s the shadowy mastermind behind the most dramatic twist of the season. At some point, she even broke down uncontrollably and needed Biggie to comfort her. Remember when housemates had their things tampered with and everyone thought it was Big Brother? Nope. Zita. And nobody suspects a thing. Not even one name drop. She’s operating on a different frequency.
Victory served ice cold
When Victory won HoH, the expectation was clear: save Gigi, his ex-love interest, and secure her immunity. Instead? He saved Kayikunmi, who was eventually evicted. After everything they’ve been through? She’s hurt, and honestly, so are we. But we also kind of respect savagery.
Rooboy and Koyin: Kings of overcalculation
Every season, someone tries to outplay Biggie. This year, it’s Rooboy and Koyin – convinced there’s a fake housemate, over-strategising like it’s a heist movie. Their little “media round” backfired, and now they’re low-key taking a break from strategy. The result? Imisi’s fanbase grew after the saga. Maybe ganging up wasn’t the best move after all?
From strategic tears to surprise alliances and full-blown beefs over food, the BBNaija House is a soap opera with no script and too many plotlines. And this is just week four.
Despite public criticism, Nigerian singer and dancer Korra Obidi has said she remains proud of her achievements since beginning her career 15 years ago.
Obidi, who started as a dancer in Surulere, Lagos, described her journey from local stages to international platforms as proof that ‘dreams can travel.’
“Navigating my life in the public eye, living authentically without caving to societal pressures of conformity has been one of my proudest feats in the few adult years I have lived,” she said.
The mother of two noted that staying focused on her craft and rejecting ego have been her guiding principles.
“Through the treacherous terrains of public opinion, I have found peace by recentering myself, drinking my body’s weight in water daily, minding my craft, and remaining humble,” Obidi explained.
“Ego is the enemy. Learning every day and grooming a growth mentality is the key. Stagnation and redundancies are never condoned in the Korraverse,” she added.
The 34-year-old entertainer recently concluded a two-month tour across Berlin, Italy, and Antigua.
Nollywood actor and a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon Desmond Elliot has promised an exciting and fun boxing evening between Nigerian-born heavyweight boxer, Ike ‘The President’ Ibeabuchi and Nigerian boxer Idris Afinni.
The boxing bout is billed to hold today, Saturday August 23 at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere in Lagos.
The fight is bankrolled by the filmmaker cum actor turned politician in conjunction with a leading promoter with Prizefighting.tv, Miyen Akiri.
The fight, which has also received official sanction from the Nigerian Boxing Board of Control (NBB of C), will be live on Prizefighting.tv.
Speaking about the bout, Elliot said he is excited to be part of the programme, stressing that the event will inspire the younger generation.
“I want to acknowledge the convener of this wonderful event Mr Miyen Akiri for his positivity about the bout. I am so encouraged. Nigerians will experience the greatest boxing bout since the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight. This is going to happen right here in Surulere, Lagos. I am calling on people from Coker Aguda, Itire-Ikate and Lagos in general to come out en masse and have fun,” Elliot said.
He added: “Let us be there and cheer on our own. Let us promote them so that the younger generation will be very inspired. We are taking representation to a different level. Representation is not only about almsgiving; it is also to promote sports in all ramifications. That’s what we want to see, charging people to be the best at what they do.”
